Boulder County sheriff's deputies used a Taser on a Longmont man in his front yard Saturday night after he reportedly charged them with a broom when they came to his home to arrest his daughter on a traffic warrant, officials say.

John Sena, 56, is being held at the Boulder County Jail on charges including menacing and second-degree assault on a peace officer after the incident, which took place at approximately 8:45 p.m. Saturday, according to Sgt. Jason Heathman with the sheriff's office.

A pair of deputies went to a home in the 1100 block of Judson Street at 8:28 p.m. to serve a $20,000 traffic warrant on Melissa Sena, 27, Heathman said.

One deputy went around the back door of the home while the other knocked on the front door. The deputies heard the sound of a baby crying inside the home, but no one came to the door for 15 minutes, Heathman said.

Eventually, the deputy in the backyard came around to the front of the home, and, believing the infant inside may have been left home alone, the other deputy opened the front door, according to Heathman. It was then that John Sena rushed the two deputies with a broom, forcing them to retreat to the edge of the yard. The deputies then used a Taser on him, and placed him under arrest.

Melissa Sena, meanwhile ran out the back door of the home, Heathman said. Sheriff's officials and Longmont police officers searched the surrounding neighborhood for her, but as of 11 p.m. Saturday, she had not been located.

Most people don't play guitar like Grayson Erhard does. That's because most people can't play guitar like he does. The guitarist for Fort Collins' Aspen Hourglass often uses a difficult two-hands-on-the-fretboard technique that Eddie Van Halen first popularized but which players such as Erhard have developed beyond pop-rock vulgarity.
